Social Studies Assessment, Curriculum, and Instruction (SSACI)

The Social Studies Assessment, Curriculum, and Instruction (SSACI) State Collaborative on Assessment and Student Standards (SCASS) harnesses the collective wisdom of state leaders and national experts to explore opportunities and address challenges within the field of social studies. The SSACI SCASS focuses on identifying, developing, and sharing high quality educational resources that support student and professional learning through rigorous standards, engaging curriculum, balanced assessments, and effective professional learning. SSACI also raises awareness of legislative trends and policy issues that are likely to impact social studies so state leaders are equipped to plan and respond effectively.
